Tech Support Note
We are aware of an issue on the clinic registration page stating 'You may select multiple sessions,' which may be confusing since we've requested each player to sign up for only one (1) event. Unfortunately, this text cannot be changed on the Crossbar platform. We appreciate your understanding and will work to clarify the instructions to ensure a smoother registration process for all participants. If you have any questions or concerns, please email webcoordinatorofayh@gmail.com
